Thanks for the link to Ernest et Celestine (les coulisses is cool). I wonder how the film will be received in France. It is different from the books, they're quieter, gentler, & simpler, which I love. The silhouettes are cool & when in Paris, I can't stop looking at those balconies!!

Super collection, Carol. You have a great eye for detail! Even if it rains in Seattle at least as often as in Paris, I never see a silhouette or an umbrella, for that matter. Dommage... Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

I've always loved the black silhouettes. I was at a Christmas market last weekend and there was an artist from Poland making silhouettes by just tearing the paper. I wish I'd bought the one he did of me, but as usual Mr France had wondered off & I didn't have any cash left, naturally he didn't take cards :)

Wonderful Carol! love it. And love the angel feeding the bird in the balcony grillwork - where is that exactly?Also, did you know you could have a silhouette of your profile cut for you at the Place du Tertre in Montmartre? they even give a special price for students.all the best,Rosemary

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
